audio review : Largo ( song ) … Fiona Apple

The fact that this song is about a real place; a music theatre in LA; from which Fiona Apple shouts out specific people doesn’t sit well with me. It’s one of her best two songs; Waltz, produced by Jon Brion, one of the names mentioned here, is the other; and it deserves a better, or at least more ambiguous, concept. Does Largo, the place, deserve such a wonderful theme? Probably not. Nonetheless Flannagan should be proud.

audio review : WAWG [ We All We Got ] ( album ) … Tha Dogg Pound

We All We Got would’ve sufficed. The WAWG abbreviation is tacky and redundant. The album makes more sense musically; the Intro is vintage Death Row; though it doesn’t get particularly interesting till “the last record” when Snoop leaves LA for New York City. Who Da Hardest, he asks over a DJ Premier beat. Tha Dogg Pound reply with guests RBX and The Lady Of Rage as you wish the whole album sounded like this.

video review : Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood

Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood; a parody of Menace To Society, South Central, Juice and Boyz N The Hood; is as ridiculous as its title, but that’s the point. It’s more of a ninety-minute In Living Color skit than a real movie, but, unlike most comedies, it’s actually funny most of the time and occasionally hilarious. It helps to have watched the flicks it spoofs to be fully amused.

audio review : Strawberriez N Cream ( song ) … MC Eiht ( featuring High T )

The title should be spelled right; Strawberries And Cream; and the High T verse should come after both of MC Eiht’s. Those are the only two major flaws on this otherwise palatable song. The best part is the beat; a jazzy groove with a delicious bassline; which isn’t fully appreciated till Bam and Chill start talking (drugs) over it near the end.
